Template | Use / description |
↓ Block quotations | General purpose |
{{Blockquote}} | Our standard block quotation template: unbordered page-wide quotation with optional smaller-sized attribution |
{{Break lines}} | Transforms line breaks into <br /> tags. It is very similar to the {{poem}} template, except that it does not invoke the <poem> MediaWiki extension. |
{{Numbered verses}} | Quote poems showing the verse numbers |
{{Poem}} | {{Blockquote}} variant for use with poems, song lyrics, and other things that would otherwise require the use of <poem> tags or frequent formatting elements (such as <br /> ); requires substitution |
{{Poem quote}} | {{Blockquote}} variant for use with poems, song lyrics, and other things that would otherwise require the use of <poem> tags or frequent formatting elements (such as <br /> ); does not require substitution |
{{Poetically break lines}} (shortcut: {{pbl}}) | Designed to format poetry simply and reliably; it differs from {{Poem quote}} in two significant ways: it does not add spacing around the poem for that sets it apart as “block quote”, and it automatically provides hanging indentation when lines are so long that they wrap |
{{Text and translation}} | Displays original language and translated text, one beside the other |
{{Verse translation}} | Displays original language verse (defaults to italics) and translated verse (roman) side-by-side |
{{Verse transliteration-translation}} | Like {{Verse translation}}, but with a transliteration separate from the original version |
{{Gbq}} | {{Blockquote}} variant for use inside glossaries |
{{Cquote}} | "centered quote" – Page-wide quote, between large quotation marks |
{{Rquote}} | "reduced quote" – Quote between large quotation marks in a reduced floating area |
{{Quote frame}} | Page-wide bordered quote |
{{Quote box}} | Quote floated in a reduced bordered box |
{{Tweet}} | For quoting directly from tweets. Automatically generates {{Cite tweet}} citation, or a custom reference can be provided. |
